On your desktop, two new shortcuts have been added for the PxPlus version installed:

This shortcut runs the PxPlus Online Registration.

Double clicking it displays a message asking whether you would like to run the online registration. An internet connection is required.

Your new PxPlus installation includes temporary activation, which gives you 30 days to register your product with PVX Plus and enable permanent activation.

When PxPlus is run for the first time after installation, the system checks whether the software is registered and prompts you to register if it is not. If Yes is selected, the system will connect to the internet to complete the registration. A quick and easy alternative is to double click the Register desktop shortcut.

Note:
It is strongly recommended that you register your software immediately after installation to ensure uninterrupted use of PxPlus.
